AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] The anchor may be fastened to a roofing surface. Upon expansion or contraction of the roofing panel with respect to the anchor, the roofing panel will slide within the channel so as to prevent buckling, tearing, or other such damage to the standing seam roofing assembly.

Problems solved by technology

When clips or other securing devices are fastened to the panels, buckling and / or damage to the panels can result.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]FIG. 1 illustrates the components for a standing seam roofing assembly in accordance with the present invention, prior to assembly. A panel 12 has a first upstanding leg 30 at a first side edge with a second panel 12′ having a second upstanding leg 50 at its second, opposing, edge. The panels 12 and 12′ may be identical. An anchor 20 includes a securing portion 22 and a mating portion 24. The first upstanding leg 30 of the panel 12 mates with the securing portion 22 of anchor 20 with that junction being covered by the second upstanding leg 50 of the second, adjacent, panel 12′ in a manner described more fully below.

[0017]FIG. 2 illustrates the roofing assembly 10 of FIG. 1 wherein the anchor 20 is mated to the first upstanding leg 30 of the panel 12. The first upstanding leg 30 has a receiving lip 32 extending from an outer portion 34. The receiving lip 32 terminates an upwardly opening channel 36 which extends between the receiving lip 32 and the outer portion 34 of the firs...

Abstract

A standing seam roofing assembly having a panel with first and second upstanding legs positioned at opposing longitudinal edges thereof. The panel is secured to a surface to be roofed by an anchor having a base portion and a mating portion. The mating portion is slidably received over a receiving lip positioned on the first leg of the panel. The first leg is configured to be received within the second leg of an adjacent panel and form an upright standing seam that is substantially symmetrical in appearance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of roofing assemblies and in particular to a standing seam roofing panel. [0003] 2. Background of the Prior Art [0004] Standing seam roofing assemblies are well known in the art and are in common use, particularly in commercial constructions. In a typical standing seam roofing assembly, a pair of upstanding legs extend from opposing longitudinal edges of the roofing panel. The upstanding leg of a first panel is folded or bent over the upstanding leg of an adjacent second panel to form a standing seam assembly. The roofing panel prevents water seepage from the surface of the roofing panels to the surface to be roofed, while the standing seam directs water and other elements toward the edge of the roof. [0005] Standing seam roofing assemblies are typically joined and secured to the roof by a clip. Typical clips include a base which is secured to the surface to be ro...
